GRANOLA BARS AND CLUSTERS
Record: DAT-0016 / Revision A
Status: Canonical current standard; no-bake chip-safe bars

YIELD: 16 bars in an 8 x 8-inch pan.

INGREDIENTS
2 cups rolled oats; 1 cup Rice Krispies; 1 cup Cocoa Pebbles;
1/2 cup honey; 1/2 cup packed brown sugar; 1/2 cup peanut butter;
4 Tbsp butter; 1/2 tsp salt; 1 tsp vanilla;
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips; 1/2 cup peanut-butter chips. No coconut oil.

METHOD
1. Line pan with parchment. Toast only oats at 325°F for 8–10 minutes if desired; cool.
2. Combine cereals and oats.
3. Bring honey, brown sugar, peanut butter, butter, and salt to a gentle boil for 60 seconds.
4. Remove from heat and add vanilla. Mix with the dry base.
5. Cool 5–8 minutes, until warm rather than hot, before folding in most chips.
6. Press firmly into pan. Add remaining chips on top after a few minutes.
7. Chill 1–2 hours before cutting. Delayed chips reduce melting and burning.
